On June 27, 2020, in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood, 1-year-old Sincere A. Gaston was shot while strapped into a rear car seat as his mother drove south on Halsted near 60th Street after leaving a laundromat. Another car pulled alongside, someone opened fire, and seven to eight rounds struck the passenger side. Sincere was hit in the chest; his mother was grazed in the head. He was taken to St. Bernard Hospital and pronounced dead; the medical examiner ruled his death a homicide.

Police circulated video and images of a gray or silver four-door sedan, possibly an Infiniti with an Illinois temporary tag, last seen heading north on Wentworth from 63rd. Investigators suggested the barrage of bullets pointed to a targeted attack and at one point raised the possibility the child’s father had been the intended target; the father denied that suggestion. Community members raised at least $50,000 in rewards and held vigils; as of the family’s second-birthday remembrance in October, no one was in custody.

If anyone in Englewood that afternoon remembers the sedan or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
